TfiE CITIZENS TIGpT JlflDE. C. II. HciErsnbltch Secures the Nomina tion for Chief Burgess. THE CONTEST WAS A WARM ONE. But the Winner Had Plenty Votes to Spare. A. D. Cable Nominated for Receiver of Taxes, Harry Reje for Auditor, Shoemaker and Williams for Borough Justices. Tho primaries of tho Citiseus party lost night were of an exceedingly lively charac ter and furnished ample material for discus sion to-day. The contest for the nomination for Chief Burgees brought out a big vote at all the polls and many of the ward contests were pretty close. Toe Councllmanic fights in the Second, Third and Fifth wards wore vigorous and the contest for School Director nomination in the Third ward was also an affair that attracted almost general interests. Over four hundred votes were polled In the Third and Fifth wards, respectively. The result show thakC. II. Hagenbuch Is the candidate of the Citizens party for the ofitce of Chief Barge. The vote east at all the primaries for thUblfice aggregated 1427. Harry Iteess, of the Third ward, is the can didate for Borough Auditor.

Although the Fifth ward was second In the amount of votes polled its returns wore the first announced. Thr first ward was socond and the Fourth, Thiri and Second ward re turns were announced 'in the order given. It was after midnight when the Second ward returns were announced and the delay caused much discussion and no little agitation. A orowd gathered about the primary and clambered franticly to get into the place and ascertain why the ward which is always either first or second, in announcing returns was so far be hind. Inono instance a crowd displaced a wholo window sash In efforts to get Into tho primary board's quarters. When the returns were announced it was stated by the board that iu consequence of some dissatisfaction having been oxpreesed by one of tho board a second count had been made and it resulted in a confirmation of the tallies as recorded on the first count.

Orio of the Obstacles to Its ltaMrlentlOn ltemnvedi WAnisaTO!, Jan. 2lt One of the great obstacles to the ratification the senate of the general arbitration treaty hoe been removed in the arrangement by negotia tion of a plan for the settlement of the Alaskan boundary question. In the oourse of a day or two a treaty will be laid be fore the senate for its action, whloh, If rati fied, will provide tho means for the final settlement of the long standing boundary question. Certain of the northwestern senators liare secretly opposed the general arbitra tion treaty because of a determination on their part not to have this boundary question submitted to arbitration. They felt that the territory waa too valuable, particularly since the discovery of th great wealth of the gold deposits there, to ehanoe its lom through any such accident ns the appointment of an Kuronean um pire, and their objections were not over come by repeated representations to the effect that such disputes might be easily excepted from the operations of the gen eral treaty. Now. however, by the treatment of the Alaskan boundary in a separate treaty, just as wae foretold by the Associated Press at the time the general arbitration treaty was slsnod. the whole nhlnnt. nan be easily removed from the path of the general treaty and disposed of in advance, it necessary, 'i'hls apodal treaty Is similar In terms to the usual run of treaties, aud provides for the appointment of a com mission to visit the country and Hx definitely the 110th meridian, whioh, under the treaty of cession to the United States, forms the boundary between that territory and the British northwest terri tory.

THE TREASURY PORTFOLIO FILLED ! Sketch of the Millionaire Banker Who Once Worked for One Hundred Dollars a Year-Major HcKlnley's Cabinet Is Now Nearly Complete. Cwton, O Jan 29. Lyman J. Gage, prciaut of the First National bank of Cblcujro, will lo secretary of the treasury In President McKlnley's cabinet. ThU announcement he made himself last night nftor a conference with Major MoKlnley lasting one hour. He said: "Mr. MoKln ley offered me the treasury portfolio. I I MA hlm 1 would aooept the high honor ond fll1 the Ptlou to 'ha bast of my ! ablllt7' " ,Mr- Gr8 reached Canton about 8:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, his train uuiug ueuiwju oy coiu ana snow. v ten him was National Committeeman Cyrus Lelnnd, of Kansas. The McKlnloy con- veyanoe was in waiting, and the visitors were hurried over tho snow covered streets to the McKlnley home, from which no hint of what was transpiring within came until dinner had been served, and Mr. Qage stepped into the oftlce library aud addressed himself to a group of reporters as quoted abovo. Beyond this he had lit tle to say. He declined to discuss any feat ure of the policy of the lnoomtng adminis tration or any matter other than that re lating to himself. Lyman J. Uage was born at Doruyter, Mudlson county, N. Y., June 28, 1830. His first position In business life was as a clerk In the Rome, N. Y., postofflce, and after leaving there he became a route agent for the Rome aud Watertowu and Ogdensburg railroad. In 1851 he secured a position In the Onedla Central bank, of Homo, at a salary of $100 per year and re mained with the bank eighteen months, lie cuune to Chicago in the fall of 1855 and was engaged as a bookkeeper by a lumber firm. His duties as bookkeeper, however, com prised the driving of one of tho tc tins be longing to the firm and loading ,iud un loading lumber. He also acted f or a time as night watohman. While he was thus engaged he was offered the position of bookkeeper of the Merchants' Savings, lxmu and Trusf company, and this was the actual beginning of his oareor as a banker. Ho was prominent in nil of the work that made the World's fair a great suc cess, nud was one of the four men, J. J. P. O'Dell, Wirt Dexter mid J. W. Doane being the others, who practically guaran teed that Chicago would carry out Its pledge of raising $10,000,030 for the build ing ef tire fair. He was for a time prest dent of the local board of directors, but upon his election to tho presidency of the bank ho was oompelled to resign that office. He refused any remuneration for nil the time he had spout as president of tho local World's fair directors, although a handsome salary had been voted for the position. Mr. Gage has been twioe married. He Is n member of the Commercial and Union League clubs of this city, and personally it a very popular man. lie is demooratlo In his milliners, pleasant and affable and is easy of approach at all times. A Happy Conference at Canton. CANTOJf, O., Jan. 29. It was a happy, Boclal, after dinner conference that the president-elect, Mr. Gage, ex-Governor Cornell and Colonel MoCook hold iu the MoKlnley sitting room last night. It is evident that the publlo announcement of the settlement of tho treasury portfolio was regarded as the conclusion of a good day's work. Colonel McCook spoke most highly of the estimate of Mr. Gago in the oast. Governor Cornell suld he waa glad the country was to have a seoretary of the fronftlirv whnwlll tinm "lrnivnoil Vtia fitiln' fice. The expression of regard for Mr. Gage by worklngmen in Chicago Inter views are believed to be largely due t tha fact that he has often met with them and joined In discussion of publlo questions.

Grasping 1m wile he bounded from the room , with bet, t iking no time to save anything but h li.it c liilliing could be grasped in the bund A yuiing son was awakened under the ..Hue 1 1 iviimstances and secured about lull' enough to cover him. The rest of the family were aroused as the flames were rub uig toward their room and tbey, too, had the narrowest of escapes. A defective flue is supposed to have caused the fire. The fire had full sway for almost an hour after it started. The fire department re- sponded promptly, but the flro plugs were trozen ana after these were thawed out the Jines of hoso of individual companies were not long enough to reach to the burning buildings. Much time was also lost because some of the hose had "Jones" couplings and others the screw couplings. It was after 12 o'clock before tho first water was forced through the first line of hose. The esti mated damage by the fire is $5,000, with $3,000 insurance. Just try a 10c liox of Coscarcts, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made. ISarly Closing Movement.
